Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0857493A2] A heart stimulating device comprises pulse generator means (8, 9, 10) adapted to operate in either a first mode wherein a stimulation pulse energy is adjusted to a capture threshold of a patient's heart or a second mode wherein the stimulation pulse energy is fixed. First evoked response detection means (3, 5,) is adapted to sense IEGM signals to detect capture or non-capture subsequent to an emitted stimulation pulse. First noise detection means (3, 6,) is provided for detecting as noise IEGM signals having predetermined signal characteristics, said noise detection means further being adapted, after having detected noise, to set said pulse generator means to operate in said second mode. Lead means (1,2) is adapted for connecting said pulse generator means, said evoked response means, and said noise detection means to a patient's heart. <IMAGE>
